I having trouble getting to boot from a Live USB pendrive explained in Ubuntu.com website. I downloaded various ISO images and only had success in booting from Live a CD or DVD.

I've gotten newer hardware which it should be able to boot from USB. I set the BIOS option to boot from USB FDD first and I get something like in the following scene but it remains stuck in: Syslinux... Peter Avin.

I tried booting from USB with pendrivelinux.com and UNetbootin on my older machine before and I have never been able to do it successfully. In fact the only time I was able to boot a Linux distro through USB was Puppy Linux and back then I had to do a legacy Puppy Linux option done to the USB stick for my older hardware to boot from the USB.

Make sure you have in the bootable usb a folder called syslinux and not isolinux. If so, rename it and change isolinux.bin to syslinux.bin and isolinux.cfg to sysinux.cfg; you'll find them in the syslinux folder.
